Re: [gentoo-bsd] Just getting started.

[Robert Raitz]

Apparently, it was an issue with the version of stage3 with which I was working. I just grabbed the FreeBSD-9.0 stage3, and the issues I was having are apparently gone. I have it up inside a chroot session under my current FreeBSD install. It appears to be working now as emerge -av portage is actually emerging portage. I take that back; it has finished.

Well, that's a good thing indeed. Once I get it all setup in the chroot session, then I'll tar the results, and place them on a hard drive. 


If I have any further issues, I will send the errors. Since I'm doing this in chroot, I'll be better able to do that.

Cheers,
Pappy

DVD or USB here would work? ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/archived/8.1/amd64/
I'm not sure since I've never tried them.

What the error did you get? I cannot help you without any error output.
